Project Home Learning
Next half term, we will be starting our new project ‘Frozen Kingdoms’. To support your child with their learning, your child may want to work through some activities which will enable them to get the most out of their project learning. Please note: these activities are optional.
Please see below a list of activities your child may wish to complete:
1. Use the internet and other source materials to sketch and label a diagram of the Earth. Include the equator, Prime Meridian, lines of latitude and longitude, Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and the polar regions.
2. Research and record the characteristics of each of the following climate zones: polar, temperate, desert, tropical and equatorial. Give examples of places within each climate zone.
3. Many people are concerned about the impact of climate change on the polar regions. Gather evidence to find the answers to the following questions. • What is global warming? • What is climate change? • What are four causes of global warming? • What is the impact of climate change on the planet? • What is the impact of climate change on wildlife? • What are your thoughts and feelings about climate change?
4. Polar animals include polar bears, emperor penguins, Siberian salamanders, Greenland sharks, emerald rockcod, walrus and Arctic terns. Compare two of these species, recording where they are found, their habitats and what they eat.
5. Use online and other historical resources to find out what happened to the RMS Titanic. Write an account to explain what happened, including how polar features were instrumental in its downfall.
